What are the top apps that most Puppy users use with Wine? This will help me alot in figuring out what I can do with Wine using Puppy Linux. Thanks!!

Hello, rmcellig.

In answer to your question concerning the top apps, I wouldn't know.

I, for one, use wine to take over where Linux leaves off, i.e. to run very specialized programs that do not yet have either a Linux version or a proper equivalent in Linux. I find that I use wine less and less, since this gap is progressively being filled.

Nice to hear from someone who lives across the river. I have been looking forward to chatting with someone from the area who is into Linux. I wasn't sure if anyone in the region used Linux especially puppy Linux until now.

the only add I'll probably be doing for wine is to enable a nice soothing yet interesting screensaver - the linux ones I've seen just look ugly/primitive/distracting... (sry about that, I called myself in for replacement pundit duty such as 'tis)

i use the Youtube downloader program (all You have to do is open the .exe file in Wine) Wine is great for small file size programs, i haven't had any problems except having to wait 25 seconds or so until the program window appears.

For someone who uses a computer primarily for word processing, I find Word 97 is still the definitive application, especially for battery-operated computers. Its CPU usage is low and it can handle anything other than *.docx (which current abiword can process).

I'm a SoftMaker fan as well, but a Wine/Word97 arrangement is still my go-to.

I don't use Usenet much these days but when I do Agent newsreader is much better than Pan._________________Classic Opera 12.16 browser SFS package for Precise, Slacko, Racy, Wary, Lucid, etc available here
